Quotes

I spoke to Ron Grainer, who'd written all these wonderful signature tunes,
and I thought it would be interesting to try to get a melody out of
radiophonic music, which nobody had tried to do at that point and Ron
absolutely fell on this and thought it was wonderful, was terribly enthusiastic about it.[1]
